…And Of The Son: The Legacy Of David And Jackie Robinson (Mini-Documentary)
October 25, 2016
David’s story begins by him talking about his going back home to Africa…Tanzania specifically. It’d be an interesting human interest piece if this was just that. But this is a Spike Lee [Lil] Joint. Why the Spike Lee treatment? And why on ESPN? David is activist & baseball legend Jackie Robinson’s son. ESPN’s headline – “Jackie Robinson’s son is a coffee farmer in Tanzania” – rather oversimplifies what this documentary is covering, but it’s a good watch!

Neil deGrasse Tyson Speaks On How Politicians ‘Cherry-Pick’ What They Want From Science (Video)
October 21, 2016
Come here kids politicians. Uncle Neil is NOT happy with you. Stop abusing the science. Matter of fact, if you aren’t gonna use it right, DON’T TOUCH IT!
Science is often the topic of heated debates between politicians, but Neil deGrasse Tyson really dislikes it when politicians do this one thing when it comes to science.

Joel Ortiz, Nitty Scott And Bodega Bamz Speak On How They Formed ‘No Panty’ And More (Video)
October 18, 2016
Wow. Sway looks at the this No Panty move through a spitter’s lens; not even considering that Joel Ortiz, Nitty Scott & Bodega Bamz are all Latino spitters! Check out the Sway In The Morning interview of new super-group No Panty. Get deeper in depth with all that.
When Salaam Remi calls, you answer. First reaching out to Joel Ortiz about his idea to put together some Latin SPITTERS, it was a no-brainer to bring Bodega Bamz and Nitty Scott in that conversation. Introducing: NO PANTY. A new group spitting BARS while still conserving the Latin culture. Watch above and grab their new project “Westside Highway Story.”

Eye Candy: Nicki Minaj Twerking Backstage (Video)
October 18, 2016
Okay, debate over. Every and anyone still arguing over whether Nicki’s derriere is all real down there are missing the point. I say that as I point to what is visual perfection and a candidate clip to break the ‘Net and make all the hit count numbers flip!! Nicki twerking in this all-too-short clip makes everything better.
Have mercy on me!
Nicki is not rapping or trapping here. But I tell you what: I’m caught up. Witness the sexy thickness that is Nicki Minaj and imagine… She had to have conceptualized this at some point and been like, “Ooooh when I hit ’em off with this thunder rump shake, THEY ARE MINE!” And hell yes, Nicki gets full noontime Honey treatment all the way down to me posting her ‘Gram page!

October 15, 2016
Ohhhh just press play, you will get it within seconds…and probably chuckle for hours. Kudos to whoever sifted through Samuel L. Jackson’s greatest hits (e.g. uses of the MF-bomb) to make this montage.

Prodigy Shares And Shows How He Cooks BBQ Salmon (Video)
October 14, 2016
Verrrry interesting. A recipe demo for the Commissary Kitchen: My Infamous Prison Cookbook that Prodigy is pushing. While marketing execs might call this Merch 101, don’t you still want to try this fish? Plus: Knowledge dropped about his sickle cell disease, and how he adapted his diet while locked up (talked about that situation, too) to help him stay healthy.
First things first: You always wash your hands first!

Definition Of A Down A** Chick: Miko Grimes (Video)
October 6, 2016
Full disclosure: I really did not know who Miko Grimes was. Not important. Her eventual husband did, and while we might infer that things weren’t always heavenly, hearing her talk about how she rides for him… man… intense! Might even say HOT. Something very ’90s Hip-Hop about this Gangsta Chick. Gotta admit that I like it. Even though I know she’s a handful.
Okay, two handfuls (wink). Do you SEEEEE that top? Fitting her where she’s so gifted. Wowzers!
Suffice it to say, Miko Grimes is the business. But she is well-informed and about her business, so you really gotta hope her man (husband, Brent Grimes, pro ball player) stays on point. Miko’s outspoken on some of everything: from the treatment of NFL players, shutting down groupies and hangers-on, and much more (as shown in the sit-down vid above).
Regarding career ups & downs for her former Falcon, then former Dolphin, hubby Brent, Miko gives her side of those goings down, too. Again I say WOW. Of course, I know Miko would absolutely DESTROY me (I’d fall too hard and stay down). But ohhhh, what a way to go!

Romany Malco Reveals ‘The Racket Of Racism’ (Video)
October 5, 2016
Romany ‘Q’ Malco has been spitting facts since he was spitting rhymes back in the day with College Boyz (yeah, Google that sh!t). But this vid right here? Wooooo… KNOWLEDGE METER ON OVERLOAD! Malco calls this one “The Racket Of Racism.” Very thorough. Takes a bit of time (well spent) to get through. But the time will fly. Necessary viewing.
(Unpacking complex issues to simple truths. Great work!)

October 4, 2016
These are Hip-Hop hieroglyphics. Respect to Greg Poole. Been hearing good things about this happening, but this vid puts it in perspective. Back in the day… to now… on the Boulevard of Linden. A Tribe Called Quest. RIP Phife.
25 years after the release of their classic LP “Low End Theory,” watch as a mural honoring A Tribe Called Quest goes up at the site of their iconic 1991 video for “Check The Rhime.”

Undercover Lyft With David Ortiz (Video)
October 1, 2016
That is one helluva a wig! It hid Big Papi, in plain sight, from a bunch of Bostonians… who rode right next to him in a Lyft!
See what happens when Boston’s beloved slugger David Ortiz goes behind the wheel as a Lyft driver to surprise passengers. Things we know: Big Papi is just as good at driving on the road as he is in the ballpark. Also, he looks pretty good in a wig.

Blank On Blank: Stevie Wonder 2005 Interview (Video)
September 29, 2016
Incredible interview of the legend, Stevie Wonder, by British journalist Barney Hoskyns. The audio is good enough, but you know PBS Digital had to juice it up with animation in the best way. It is short but impactful nonetheless, esp. with Wonder talking about his first brush with racism.
“I think I discovered, you know, the whole thing of color when I went down South once, when my grandmother passed away,” the musician says in the video. “There were some kids, White kids that lived nearby or whatever, [that said], ‘Hey, n!gger!”
Wow.

First Lady Michelle Obama Talks About Her Bestie Beyonce, Her Husband Barack And More (Video)
September 29, 2016
Hahahaaa! She called her husband ‘swagalicious’… priceless! Watching Michelle Obama talk about it with Stephen Colbert, you really get the feeling that the evening mealtime is more ‘dinner with the Obamas‘ than ‘dinner at The White House.’
Turns out everyone in President Obama’s family does an impression of him, usually at the dinner table. But the leader of the free world would rather gossip.
Nice. Lively interview with the lovely First Lady. Going to miss the Obamas when they move out of 1600. But bet your last dollar they will not just ‘go away.’ Way too much charisma and gumption for that. I’m almost as excited about the post-Presidency as I was when President Obama was voted and sworn in…both times #Swag

Dr. Umar Johnson Speaks On The Challenges Of Being High-Profile, Being Blindsided By The ‘Conscious Stripper’ And More (Video)
September 29, 2016
Dr. Umar Johnson: outspoken, massively popular… and a target. In the above interview, he clarifies that high-profile people, such as himself, are targeted by media spinners and even women with unknown motives; specifically, a woman he met in Florida who calls herself the “Conscious Stripper.” She turned on Dr. Johnson in a very public way, and in the fallout from the incident he lost a million-dollar donation from an NBA player he would not name. Dr. Johnson declared that if he had known that he was going to be famous, he would have gotten married before the fame. Marriage calms you down and keeps you out of trouble.
Hmmm… something to consider guys… Put a ring on her, so she can rein you in.

The Game Speaks On His Album “1992,” Dissing Sean Kingston & Meek Mill And More (Video)
September 27, 2016
Wow. The Game has found love or respect for everyone, Kurrupt to KXNG Crooked (aka Crooked I) to Kendrick Lamar, even 50 Cent… but NOT Meek Mill and Sean Kingston. Wow!
The Game talks about his beef with Meek Mill and Sean Kingston, the disrespectful lines in “Pest Control,” his new album “1992,“ patching things up with 50 Cent, did his cars get shot up in Miami and much more.
Catch his apology for the stray shot he took at Meek’s girl Nicki Minaj in there, too.
